Chapter 12752 Prejudice is too deep
Ling Xiao's eyes inadvertently glanced at Zhang Dian's eyes.
He knew very well that eyes are the windows to the soul. Although one can lie with his mouth, it is difficult for his eyes to conceal his true feelings. Sure enough, when he heard Ling Xiao's words, a flash of anger and terrifying murderous intent flashed across Zhang Dian's eyes.
"Good kill!"
The murderous intent and anger only flashed by, and Zhang Dian quickly returned to normal, with a fake smile on his face. He tried to use this smile to cover up the tension and anxiety in his heart.
"Are you still acting in front of me?" Ling Xiao said coldly, his voice full of disdain and ridicule.
He stared into Zhang Dian's eyes and continued, "Do you think that if you let others help you meet those goblins, I won't suspect you? Your actions have already exposed your true colors."
Zhang Dian was angered by Ling Xiao's words. He angrily retorted: "Although you are a disciple of the upper house, you can't slander me like this, right? I have never done these things. Do you have any evidence?"
Ling Xiao sneered, his eyes flashing with coldness. He said calmly: "I don't need evidence, I'll know after searching his soul." After that, he suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Zhang Dian's head.
Zhang Dian felt the powerful pressure coming from Ling Xiao's palm. He was shocked and knew that Ling Xiao was going to search his soul.
Soul searching is an extremely cruel method that can directly invade the soul of the other party and spy on the secrets deep in their heart. Once the soul is searched, the person will suffer great pain and torture, and may even suffer damage to the soul.
Zhang Dian knew he had nowhere to escape, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He shouted loudly, trying to use his voice to cover up his fear and anxiety. He waved his hand and ordered the warriors behind him: "Kill him!"
"Haha, you finally stop pretending?" Ling Xiao laughed sarcastically, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
He stared at Zhang Dian, his voice full of sarcasm and disdain, "I originally thought that you were just greedy for the spirit stones and withheld some of them privately. For such behavior, I might be able to turn a blind eye and not bother to bother with you. But you don't know what is good for you and dare to let those goblins harm the women of Luancheng. You know, this is the most intolerable thing in my life!"
Ling Xiao's tone became increasingly harsh, his anger evident in his words. He tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, as if he wanted to pour all his anger into it.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a deep and majestic voice suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the space. Then, a terrifying aura descended, as if an invisible force was approaching.
However, Ling Xiao did not hesitate or retreat. His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he had already prepared for everything. He swung the long sword in his hand, with a sharp wind, and chopped directly at Zhang Dian's neck.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, Zhang Dian's head fell off, blood splattered everywhere. Ling Xiao's knife was clean and neat, without any drag. He knew that he wanted to die without any evidence, and he couldn't let the people of Tianxiahui know that he took away the hundreds of millions of mid-grade spirit stones.
After killing Zhang Dian, Ling Xiao turned around and looked at the old man who had just appeared. The old man was wearing a green robe and had a kind face, but his eyes revealed an unfathomable aura. He stood there quietly, as if he had merged with the surrounding environment.
"Who is this, Senior?" Ling Xiao bowed slightly and saluted the old man. He knew that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. To be able to appear at this critical moment, he must have extraordinary strength and background.
"You are such an impatient person." The old man looked at Ling Xiao, with a hint of blame and helplessness in his tone, "How come you are so quick? This guy has been withholding spirit stones for years, and no one knows where he has hidden them. You killed him so easily, isn't it a waste of those spirit stones?"
The old man sighed softly, as if lamenting Ling Xiao's impulsiveness and the missed opportunity. He slowly walked in front of Ling Xiao and continued, "However, things have come to this point and cannot be reversed. By the way, I am the third dean of the upper house, and I have come here to protect you in case of any accidents."
The old man smiled and nodded, his eyes revealing some appreciation. He patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder and said, "I admire your courage and determination. But on the path of cultivation, you need to be steady and cautious in order to go further."
"So it's you, Senior Third Dean. Thank you so much!"
Ling Xiao sneered in his heart. Perhaps these people heard that there was an extremely powerful person behind him and thought he was useful, so they wanted to protect him again.
What a pity. If the Fourth Dean had just expressed his stance at that time, he would have been grateful to the Tianxia Association. But now, no matter what the Tianxia Association does, he will feel that the other party is just putting on an act and will not be moved at all.
Even felt nauseous!
"Forget it, your mission here is over, you can go back." The Third Dean sighed and waved his hand, with a bit of reluctance and helplessness in his tone. He understood that although Ling Xiao's performance this time was outstanding, he also caused a lot of trouble, and it would take some time to calm down the storm.
"Senior, goodbye!" Ling Xiao also understood that his mission had been completed. He never liked to stay for long, so he turned around and wanted to leave. He knew in his heart that the relationship between him and Tianxiahui was complicated. Although he had received the help of the three presidents this time, it did not mean that he had completely trusted Tianxiahui.
The Third Dean watched Ling Xiao's back as he left, a complex emotion flashing through his eyes. He looked at the underground city that had become a ruin, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. He actually suspected that Ling Xiao might have taken the spiritual stones, but now there was no evidence, so he could not pursue the matter.
More importantly, he realized Ling Xiao's potential and value and didn't want to offend him.
"Little guy, I'm optimistic about you." The Third Dean whispered to himself, his voice full of expectation and appreciation. He understood that although Ling Xiao was young, he had outstanding strength and a tough character, and was a rare talent. However, he seemed to have too deep a prejudice against the Tianxiahui, which made him a little worried.
"I hope that in the future, we two can understand each other." The Third Dean smiled again. He knew that this would take time and opportunity.
Immediately, he followed and continued to protect Ling Xiao secretly.
Things in Luancheng have come to an end, and naturally someone will come to coordinate and handle the follow-up matters, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
Ling Xiao finally returned to Tianxiahui, and he was full of anticipation for refining the Heart of Earth. However, just when he was about to retreat to practice, he found Wang Xuan anxiously waiting for him outside the cemetery.
Wang Xuan looked anxious: "Wang Heng has been so proud these past few days, spreading the word that Ou Luan will soon be released from confinement. Moreover, Ou Luan has even spread the word that the Tianxia Club will not tolerate you, Ling Xiao!"
